Vodafone says it's talking with Verizon

The on-again, off-again talks between Verizon Communications and Vodafone about resolving their Verizon Wireless partnership have resumed, Vodafone has confirmed. Yet the carrier warned there was no certainty the companies would agree on a plan for Verizon to buy out Vodafone's 45% stake in the wireless entity. A buyout of Vodafone's stake reportedly would cost more than $100 billion.
